Event Details: In this intensive 4-day summer workshop, participants work to deepen their understanding of the mathematical ideas that both underlie addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and also connect arithmetic to Algebra. Participants will take on the role of students as they take part in Deductive Lessons that are core to our Number Reasoning program and build new understandings of key mathematical concepts in ways that support deeper understanding, reasoning, and transfer across topics. Studio Time follows, as we try out both a key practice and the ideas constructed through the Deductive Lessons.

Throughout the Collaboratory's 4-day workshop, we'll overview practices that anchor a Number Lab Classroom, highlight important models that support deep understanding, study artifacts of student work, and learn more about what contributes to positive classroom culture and norms of productive discourse. The focus, however, will be around content and understanding the Number Reasoning Matrix. We'll also talk together about the challenges of shifting our mathematics instruction from a skills-based/procedural approach towards presenting mathematics as a coherent discipline that supports sense-making.

The format of a Collaboratory is very casual and there is a great deal of discussion as teachers and instructional leaders from a number of schools come together to prepare to shift their instruction during the upcoming school year.

Educators' Collaboratory 2017 will be Monday, July 10 - Thursday, July 13 at the AT&T Conference Center at The University of Texas in Austin, Texas.

Advanced Collaboratory 2017 will be held Monday, July 24 - Thursday, July 27th at the number lab in Austin, Texas. Advanced Collaboratory registrants must have attended Educators' Collaboratory 2016.

Daily sessions are 9:00 - 3:00, with a lunch break.

The cost of the Educators' Collaboratory is $600 per person; groups of 5 or more from one school or district receive a discounted price of $500 per person.

The cost of the Advanced Collaboratory is $600 per person.

Registration closes June 1, 2017 or when we are full.
